Athens This Weekend: April 29 - May 1

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Head to Athens, Georgia for great events for all ages!

1) The 3rd Annual Antebellum Trail begins Wednesday, April 27&nbsp;and lasts through Sunday, May 1. The trail winds through seven historic areas of Georgia to let you revisit the days of big front porches and slow living. Athens is the northern tip of the trail and offers tours of 16 historic districts and four house museums. This is a great opportunity to view Athens architectural styles and see the Church-Waddel-Brumby House, the oldest Athens residence. While you're in town, there are several other exciting events to check out! For more information about the trail, visit http://www.antebellumtrail.org/.

2) The 32nd Annual Athens Twilight Criterium will be this Friday and Saturday. Join us for two full days of activities including: a Canopy Studio Trapeze Performance, live music, evening races, a 5K, BMX Jam, and kids races. The Twilight Criterium is a favorite race on the national cycling circuit because of its night races and the energy of downtown Athens. Although events last all weekend long, the men's and women's criterium races are held Saturday evening.

3) Check out the Athens Americana Festival this weekend at Little Kings Shuffle Club in downtown Athens. The four-night festival began Wednesday night and lasts through Sunday with an extended closing party at Hendershot's.
